      You’re pretty far off the deep end to call the present campaign unprovoked.

      Disproportionate, bloody, horrible, inhuman, this you can say, but to claim that Israel wasn’t attacked and hasn’t suffered is frankly insane

        You can understand the cynicism though. The occupation has been 75 years long. And it’s well known that Netanyahu wanted the secular faction weakened and had funded Hamas to do it. The Mossad also begged Qatar to fund Hamas.

        This is a deliberate planned extermination.

          Are you blaming Israel for providing resources to hamas so it could attack Israel?

        You got it wrong.

        I didn’t mean that Israel’s actions are unprovoked. I meant there were, in fact, obviously provoked, and therefore can’t be intentional.
